Learning Objectives
Readers will be able to describe some of the results of brain imaging research on learning

Description:
These articles describe how brainscans are being used to study learning and how those results may be translated to the classroom; debates concerning whether dyslexia stems from a breakdown in the brains ability to process fast-paced information or from a language-specific deficit; and the results of the largest-ever study of child care which found little evidence that out-of-home care harms development in the first three years of life.
